This report took a Gibraltar angle, but suspicions about the hidden agenda behind China’s BRI hasn’t gone unnoticed on the world stage; and it’s certainly not hard to find articles that question their movements.
But what is the motive of local politicians who help facilitate Chinese investment on The Rock?
And Roy Clinton recently has asked another brow-raising question, replying to an Aqui Que Pasa, as illustrated by these tweets:
We’d like to know the answer to Roy Clinton’s question as well. What was the purpose of the 50:50 joint venture between Gibraltar and China subsidiaries?
Aren’t shell/subsidiaries companies used to hide parent companies in many cases?
Isn’t it your right to know about any deals that Gibraltar makes with China, especially because many Chinese practices aren’t inline with Western culture, especially where human-rights are concerned. Would you give up your Christian values to please the atheist red dragon for the sake of financial gain?
You cannot serve two masters. A Christian nation should not be in debt/servitude to foreign powers whose god is the government (i.e. Chinese Communists Party CCP).
In fact, you were told specifically not to in The Law.
Exodus 23:32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. Exodus 23:33 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against Me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.
Time and time again your local politicians are blind leaders leading you to Hell-fire, getting you to stray away from God’s Law, by enacting fraudulent/unlawful legislation to directly contravene/break God’s Law.
A recent example of the EU questioning China’s involvement is “Time for the EU to offer CEE an alternative to China”
Excerpts:
“I think that the politically impotent EU, which is more concerned with internal affairs and less dedicated to geopolitical goals in a changing world, is frightened of China, which through the Belt and Road project is realising not only an economic but also a geopolitical agenda,” said Dušan Proroković, research fellow at the Institute of International Politics and Economics of Belgrade
According to the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China, in countries like North Macedonia, Moldova and Armenia, the lack of a strong public debate about the BRI has meant that governments have generally had more leeway when it comes to taking part in China’s connectivity agenda.
Maybe it’s time to offer Gibraltar an alternative to China.
Also, how much will China play a part in the post-covid crisis?
Decisions European leaders make in coming months will set the course for its post-pandemic future.
China's proliferation of surveillance technology – used for repression at home and increasingly exported – is a direct threat to democratic values.
The UN´s ITU is increasingly targeted by Beijing to influence the make-up of the digital economy. (Gibraltar Regulatory Authority is associated with ITU).
Joe Bossano continues to pull in the Chinese Trojan Dragon into the Gates of Gibraltar.
Joe Bossano - “I hope it will be very successful and make a lot of money.”
Hey Joe, you cannot serve two masters.
Matthew16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and materialism.
Gibraltar should not make deals with strangers like CCP, because they will pull you astray from The Law. The Chinese Communist Party’s ways are not God’s Way.
“This is a country where living political prisoners are having vital organs stolen from their bodies to meet the demand of so-called “transplant tourists” with deep pockets.”
The Chinese Foreign Ministry declared that “all lives matter,” but they certainly don’t practice what they preach. In April, the African Union criticized China for blatant racial discrimination in Guangzhou. Many black immigrants in the southern city were forced to sleep out on the streets after landlords evicted them despite paying their rent. Hotels and and restaurants refused to serve them as the Chinese Communist Party blamed Africans for bringing coronavirus into the area, with one McDonald’s making headlines when it put up a notice saying black people weren’t allowed to enter.
You should make decisions based on principles given by God, not base them on money.
When it comes to Gibraltar politicians, why is all about the money?
It is against God’s Law to make covenants with strangers (Exodus 23-32-33).
Know who you are in bed with:
The Chinese Communist Party, will criminalise any act that the CCP considers to be a form of “secession” or “acts against national security” in Hong Kong.
Long story short, it seems that this joint venture will result in the modular construction of a residential home for older citizens somewhere along Bishop Caruana Road. The facility will then be privately owned.
On the company documents, two individuals employed by the Government are named as directors – are they going to be the owners? Are they going to front for the owners? Are they going to profit from this deal? These questions need urgent answering.
The noises about Gibraltar and China doing business have now been floating around for quite a while. This Government, and in particular Sir Joe Bossano, has been enamoured of China for a number of years now, and he has travelled multiple times to China since entering Government.
Why are the atheist (anti-God) Chinese so enamoured with dragons?
King of kings’ Bible
Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon (Lucifer); and the dragon fought and his angels,
12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out to the Earth, and his angels (you - Luke 9:55) were cast out with him (Matthew 25:41).
12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and The Kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their (human) lives unto the death (John 12:25).
12:12 Therefore rejoice, [ye] heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the “earth” and of the “sea”! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time (6,000 years).
12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast onto the Earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man [child].
12:14 And to the woman (Israel) were given two wings of a great eagle (Ex. 19:4), that she might fly into the wilderness (Britain), into her place, where she is nourished for a Time, and Times (2), and half a Time (1260 “days”) (Dan. 12:7), from the face of the serpent.
12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth “water” (ch. 17:15) as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away (destroyed) by the flood.
12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which KEEP the Commandments of God, and have the Testimony of Christ Jesus (the Bible).
13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon its horns ten crowns, and upon its heads the name of blasphemy.
13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and its feet were as [the feet] of a bear, and its mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave it his power, and his throne, and great authority.
13:3 And I saw one of its heads as it were wounded to death; and its deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast (system).
13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who [is] like unto the beast? who is able to make war against it?
13:5 And there was given unto it a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto it to continue forty [and] two months.
13:6 And it opened its mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, and His Tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
13:7 And it was given unto it to make war with the holy people, and to overcome them: and power was given it over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations (“waters” - ch. 17:15).
13:8 And all that dwell upon the Earth shall worship it, whose names are NOT written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
Tanzania President cancels $10billion Chinese loan; Refers to the Terms and Conditions As One That Can Only be Accepted by Drunkard Person.
They sign Chinese loan agreements that they know very well they cannot pay back within the agreed time frame but mostly proceed with the loans just for the kickbacks attached and the benefits some individual politicians stand to get from such contracts to the detriment of the development of their respective nations.
The GSD says it does not support the Government’s joint venture transaction with a Chinese sub-state owned construction company to build a privately funded nursing home that will be handed over to an undisclosed private investor.
Chinese state media called on the Western world to help African nations pay their enormous debts, many of which just happen to be owed to Chinese banks thanks to China’s debt-trap Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
China’s state-run Global Times cited Zambia’s inability to make loan payments to the China Development Bank (CDB) as a warning bell for African financial collapse unless the Western world forgets about its own economic difficulties from the Chinese coronavirus, shakes off its “protectionism and populism,” and starts forgiving African debt.
The editorial chided American and European officials for worrying that if they pump more money into Africa, it will just end up in Chinese banks.
To make matters worse, the Chinese state has been open about its hostility to the United States. Among other things, in May 2019 People's Daily, the Party's self-described "mouthpiece" and therefore most authoritative publication in China, declared a "people's war" on America.
Many of those "different social systems"—especially the United States—are squeamish when it comes to singling people out because of their race. Yet American policymakers cannot ignore the fact that the Communist Party's appeal to overseas Chinese is overtly race-based.
In February... the Justice Department ended its Trump-era "China Initiative," which concentrated law enforcement efforts on Chinese espionage. Yet given Xi Jinping's call on overseas Chinese to work for the Chinese Communist Party, it is time to reinstitute that program and devote more resources to it.
Can Americans of Chinese descent be loyal to both America and China?
No. China's Communist Party has made itself an existential threat to America and every other society.... The promotion of tianxia [ruling "All under Heaven"] means, among other things, that the Party views the U.S. government as illegitimate and America as nothing more a tributary society or colony.
Although we ["Chinese-Americans"] technically do not have an obligation to prove our loyalty to America, we must, as a group, understand that a hostile power is trying to weaponize us. Xi Jinping has openly called on us to become a subversive force, to help him destroy the country we now call home.
It is time, therefore, for us to begin cleaning our own ranks.... Moreover, it means not shouting "racism" every time law enforcement arrests someone of Chinese descent.
We may think it unfair, but we now have to make a choice.
After all, our country—the United States of America—is in peril because a foreign state—the People's Republic of China—is attacking it and hoping to use us to take it down.
The Communist Party of China refers to us as "overseas patriotic forces." People in our communities will want to know to which country we feel patriotic.
"Promoting the great unity of the Chinese people is the historic responsibility of China's patriotic united front work in the new era,"said Chinese ruler Xi Jinping at the end of last month to Communist Party cadres in Beijing. "To do the job well, we must... truly unite all Chinese people in different parties, nationalities, classes, groups, and with different beliefs, and those who are living under different social systems."
"Different social systems" is Party lingo for "other countries."
Xi's words sound benign, but the intent is not. In short, Xi, at the Party's United Front Work Conference, said he hoped to unite—in other words, mobilize—ethnic Chinese everywhere to support the CCP, to effectively make every Chinese individual a CCP agent.
This is an in-depth (7,800 word) and must-read analysis of China’s journey from Communism to Technocracy, a much more natural system for China’s history and culture. Misreading China’s current state of existence is to misread the greatest threat the world has ever seen, yet is the least-spoken of. No, China isn’t the threat, our own governments are striving to recreate the China experience, especially in the U.S. ⁃ TN Editor
In Part 1, we discussed the historical background of Technocracy Inc. that briefly found popularity in the US in the 1930s during the turmoil of the Great Depression.
Technocracy was rooted in socioeconomic theories that focused upon the efficient management of society by experts (technocrats). This idea briefly held the public’s attention during a period of sustained recession, mass unemployment and growing poverty.
The technological capabilities required for the energy surveillance grid, essential for the operation of a Technate (a technocratic society), were far beyond the practical reach of 1930s America. Consequently, for that and other reasons, public interest in the seemingly preposterous idea of technocracy soon subsided.
However, in recent decades, many influential policy strategists—most notably Zbigniew Brzezinski and Henry Kissinger—and private philanthropic foundations, such as the Rockefeller Foundation, recognised that advances in digital technology would eventually make a Technate feasible. As founding and leading members of the Trilateral Commission, a policy “think tank,” they saw China as a potential test bed for technocracy.
We will now consider their efforts to create the world’s first Technate in China.

WHY CHINA?
In the West we often have difficulty understanding or even conceptualising Chinese mores. We tend to see the world in our own terms and are able to describe it only in reference to the principles and philosophical concepts that we are familiar with. Perhaps we forget that the Western perspective is not the only one in the world.
For example, as pointed out by students of the Chinese political philosophy of tianxia, there is no ontological tradition in China. In the Chinese philosophical mind, the question is not “What is this thing” but “What path does this thing suggest?”
Datong lies at the heart of “the Great Way,” first described in the Liyun chapter of the “Book of Rites” (the Liji), written more than 2,000 years ago. Recounting the teachings of Confucius, the chapter depicted a utopian society of the ancient past this way:
When the Great Way was practised, the world was shared by all alike. The worthy and the able were promoted to office and men practised good faith and lived in affection. Therefore they did not regard as parents only their own parents, or as sons only their own sons.
The “Rites” (or “li”) are the formal etiquette and behavioural conduct that underpin Chinese social order. Li also compasses the ceremony and rituals that reinforce normative standards.
Datong, which can be translated as “the Great Unity,” represents the central political and moral philosophy of the ideal Chinese society. In datong, everyone respects “the li” and is imbued with the Confucian virtue of “ren.” This love and benevolence (ren) is founded in human empathy. It first manifests within the family but extends to the whole of society.
Datong implies a society where the most able and virtuous lead, with ren foremost in their hearts and minds. All resources are shared equitably for the common good. In the Liyun chapter, the expression “the world is shared by all alike” is written as “tianxia weigong.” This can be translated as “all under Heaven is held in common” or “all under Heaven is publicly held.”
There is no place for private property in datong, because communities meet the needs of all. There is no conflict of interest. The Great Way is one of “Universal Harmony.”
The opening passage of the Liyun chapter also described xiaokang, the “lesser prosperity,” in which society still maintained li and ren but differed from datong in an important regard:
The world is the possession of private families. Each regards as parents only his own parents, as sons only his own sons; goods and labour are employed for selfish ends.
While datong describes a world where resources are “shared by all alike,” in xiaokang resources are in “the possession of private families.” Xiaokang was not seen as opposed to datong but rather on the path toward it, for li and ren were still observed. But there is a warning in the Liyun chapter that private property and the control of resources by private interests present a risk:
Therefore intrigue and plotting come about and men take up arms.
Kang Youwei’s book “Datong shu” (The Great Commonwealth) was published posthumously in 1935. Kang wrote it as a series of lecture notes, the earliest dating to 1884. Rather than view datong only as a lost utopia, Kang proposed datong as a future society that could be constructed. He viewed ren as the path toward establishing the common good for all, attainable by eliminating suffering and creating happiness.
Kang noted that ren was applicable not only to humanity but to the universe and all within it, and he called this “jen.” Jen gave rise, he said, to creation and to the establishment of universal order. Therefore, order should be based upon the same principle of the “compassionate mind.”
He drew upon the work of the Confucian scholar He Xiu, whose Gongyang theory of history described sociopolitical development as a path consisting of incremental, progressive stages. Kang built upon Gongyang’s work to plot a course toward the Great Unity.
In essence, Kang suggested that society could be reverse-engineered to achieve datong in the future. He identified “nine boundaries” of human suffering that needed to be deconstructed in order to reach datong. He said that datong could be attained once nation-states, social class, racism, sexism, families, private property, injustice, environmental destruction, and poverty (the result of social inequality and oppression) were abolished.
“Sages” or “persons of jen” would be needed to lead, Kang maintained. He acknowledged that the sages had to operate in the social, economic and political circumstances of their day and that the resultant laws and institutions might be oppressive and cause suffering. Therefore, the objective of the “person of jen” (sage) should be to reform the laws and organisations of the state with a view to eradicating the nine boundaries of suffering.
With the abolition of the nation state, Kang’s proposed path toward the Great Way extended far beyond China. He favoured a global society where a world government would rule over a planet that was divided into regional districts.
In this global society, there would be no class or private property, and all would strive to deliver the common good and benefit everyone. Specifically, all resources would be deployed for the benefit and happiness of all. Public institutions, not families, would raise children. And the children would be trained to become citizens who would provide free services, such as health care and education, for all.
The only distinction between people would be the badges of honour worn by those deemed to have great ren, or knowledge—that is, the sages. Ultimately, once datong exists, there would be complete harmony with nature, which in turn would mean that all human beings are vegetarians and that euthanasia would be practised with ren, for the common good.
The ideology of datong, as Kang expounded it, and the hope of following the Great Way have strongly influenced Chinese political philosophy throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. Xi Jinping has been heard on numerous occasions to repeat the phrase, “When the Great Way prevails, the world is for everyone.”
Seen from the Chinese philosophical perspective, the best anyone can hope for today is xiaokang. Thus, xiaokang sages must be free to reform the institutions of the state on the path toward removing the nine boundaries, achieving datong and leading the Great Way.
There are many parallels between this path and the socioeconomic theory underpinning technocracy. For those who wished to establish a global technate, China was a natural choice for their pilot project.
UNDERSTANDING TECHNOCRACY
While there is a lot of debate about the extent of “legitimate” technocratic governance in the West’s supposedly liberal representative democracies, governance is just one aspect of technocracy. In other words, technocratic governance alone is not technocracy.
It must be admitted that the Technocracy Inc. Study Course made some valid criticisms of a number of social problems. Unfortunately, the offered solution of a Technate is both arrogant and naïve.
It assumes, much as does the notion of a Great Way, that authority can be exercised by some human beings over other human beings for the common good. Further, it imagines that there is some social or political mechanism that can produce leaders who are omniscient and capable of defining what that “common good” is.
Both datong and technocracy would require human nature to undergo a fundamental transformation. Avarice, malevolence, narcissism, psychopathy and every other deleterious failing would need to be expunged from humanity.Until they are, power will continue to be sought by those who want to control others.
The most ruthless among us will ultimately succeed—often not because they are the most suited but because they are prepared to do what others won’t in order to gain the power they crave. This situation will persist for as long as we believe that someone or some organisation needs to have absolute authority over our lives in order for us to be able to cooperate effectively.
To imagine that concentrating all power in the hands of a tiny, select band of experts or sages will solve the problems caused by the unscrupulous and frequently violent and immoral use of authority is ridiculous. You can’t fix a kakistocracy by investing more power in the “kakistocrats.”
If you have a hundred people of whom you are one and each person puts themself first and is out-for-themself and what they can get, then all you will ever have is competition, strife, violence and war. The history of this planet is proof of that fact .
The strong will oppress the weak. The rich will oppress the poor. The clever will oppress the not so clever and there willbe continual struggle for survival, leading to crime, violence, war and eventually total annihilation - Armageddon . How can there possibly NOT be?
On the other hand; as Jesus demonstrated when he gave his life voluntarily for the benefit of everyone else; if you take exactly the same hundred people of whom you are one and everybody, including you, now puts everyone else first, before their "Self", then each individual, including you, wins ninety-nine times , because each individual has ninety-nine other people putting them first.
However, it will not work unless every single person does it, because one bad apple RUINS the whole barrel.
Maybe it’s time to offer Gibraltar an alternative to China.
